Hi Darla,

In our village, we have a giant world map we fix to the wall, we cover all the indigenous cultures of the world, and place the continent sticky note on each (Eurasia, Africa, ect).

Then we look at the indigenous populations of our own country (Canada); then the First Nations within our own community, of which we have 3 . Then a bit of history about each of our own First Nations.

I have purchased short books from amazon that are included in a program each year on June 21. We also have indigenous community celebrations at 2 local parks. The Independent Living Bus to transport our residents to join in. For our long term care folks, a performance later that week of children and youth jungle dancers and hoop dancers in their regalia.

I have also purchased a buffalo drum from a specialized music store for the sensory experience.

We use youtube on the big screen with our laptop HDMI hookup.

A great amount of background and early morning searching goes into planning and preparing for programs of a diversional nature. I am also able to incorporate Recreation Therapy into these programs for specific needs.
